Read some Unix sysadmin manuals.

Huh? Firewall needs graphical interface to configure? Maybe you shouldn't
be configuring firewalls right now - there should be a number of good
HOWTOS that explain Unix networking basics (including NFS) and give sample
ipmasq and ipchains scripts. Consult c.o.l.networking for more
information.

And Intel only, right? Didn't know they advertise it as Open Linux (is
there something like Closed Linux? I've only ever seen Closed Windows
...).
